Elections
The European election is one of two elections I can vote in ,the other being the local town hall election.For Europe we have a choice of about 20 parties of which 4 are serious and have a chance of electing a good number of deputies ( 5 if you include the national front ) they will probably get around 10% of the vote. The main players are the UMP (Sarkos lot ) Socialists,MoDem ( a liberal party ) and the greens. The rest of the candidates are more single issue policies,such as "esperanto " "breton party " and extreme left,right and green. The voting turnout is always high in France so should be 50-60% with the polls showing UMP in the lead
Paulien brought home a terrorist last week , he has 4 legs ,looks cuddly but is destruction on paws and dashs around chewing shoes and anything left on the floor. The other dogs do their best to ignore him but that is really differcult.The boys have named him " Bealo" after the village idiot in the film Borat.
I see a bit of blue sky so must go and cast my vote.

I'd love to know how the Esperanto party fared. How many votes did they gain in Brittany?

The Esperanto party got a couple thousand votes which was 0.2% the party I voted for got 8% the MoDems whereas Paulien voted green and her party got 16% although she meant to vote for the other eco party but got confused
